@DonPorfirioDiaz: La venganza de los nerds | Pedro José Fernández | TEDxCuauhtémoc


I had a teacher who talked about

porfirio 10 and said that the man more

mean and evil that has ruled mexico

a dictator but really the nefarious ones

I used to say that every morning since

He longing for his mustache and saying

how many Mexicans will I kill and that’s where

where my idea of porfirio the bad guy was born

but she also had another teacher she

he said that porfirio was a 9 a great

military a good president

go remember your government

with love as well as saying yes when

you are there intonation in times of gift

porphyria

we would not be so bad and that’s where

was born my idea of ​​porfirio the good of me

I like that it was not clear which of the

two was really I started to study

everything that can

daily letters biographies know their

women their government decisions to their

I exiled while I focused my life more

I was passionate and I ‘m going to tell you something

study the life of one of the first

dictators of latin america is not thing

easy because the story that we

bothers

it hurts us

and that from the school just look like

teaches us the material dates to memorize

useless data grudges of what happened

500 years ago and at the end of the only thing that

you remember

that is to say the teacher who was told the

dead of failed or not

that’s why when I was in high school

for I had some problems with my

comrades because they did not understand that it is not

that I will support or not Porfirio Díaz

that I was simply interested in his life

of course it was an ultra conservative school

Catholic then you can imagine the

peace environment respect tolerance

Black name said it ‘s over it will not

to have neither of them nor of porfirio díaz

thank you very much and the years passed

I started studying engineering in

computing and electronics while a lot

the science of computing and little

holder before me one of my

teachers told me hey

did you know that in the library of the

university has the most file

important of porfirio díaz

it was raining and it was cold for me it does not matter

I was asked to loan a document

with which a photograph was incredible

because for me it was to meet with a

old friend because my passion is and there and

more important the career must of the

methodology needed to follow

studying porfirio díaz and I understood

something that seems obvious but it is not

the story belongs to everyone and that the

history is for all if the engineers

and the doctors and lawyers of yours

and yours and I also say no

we all share the same past

we do not all have the same president

take advantage of a very curious coincidence

in 2010

On the one hand we have the twitter boom

in mexico and on the other the parties of

bicentennial of independence had

I put on the story, I told myself

low is my moment

Diaz has to return to live

through social networks

aha and how could this dictator not be

military president has covered his time

because what laziness to read to read

tweets that seem written in the century

19 and on the other I could not have satire

jokes month all day I would have lost

completely its historical sense that gives

know what it says and be warned days live

in the 21st century with a digit that

understands his time in the time of

21st century and that we should nostalgic that

remember all the time the 19th century and in

little complained tesco started immediately

Share your memories and the account

it started to grow in a way

awesome because you do not realize that

those memories that I was sharing

they were actually broadcast historical is

something very curious those who were in

against Porfirio Díaz they came to the

account and they began to share the spelling

against Porfirio Diaz to review a

defend your postures

but those who were in favor of porfirio

day they did the same and through the

account were found at a mid point

where they could debate and history

only valid because I was alive and

he understood something that can only

explain through a small formula

mathematical because I’m an engineer and everything

what now we are going as first

Variable a hobby and that hobby you

we add the passion we feel for that

hobby and finally we add the

amplification that networks give us

social

the only result can be a new

purpose in life is what I was

feeling at that moment

now taking advantage of that we are here in

trust and we are having fun has

confessed that I have not told anyone not

I have a relationship of love and hate with

Porfirio Diaz

if one day he grabs me very bad and I tell him

porfirio can you explain how you left

that killed Canaanite workers

and white river and another day I grabbed a

little bit more good

porfirio you were half of the second

French intervention tf subtracted in a

convent you did not have weapons does not have

army does not have money I can

explain where you got the value and the

force to escape from there gather what

that you needed to win some of the

most important battles of the war and

this strange duality is what brings me

to understand that we all have a

interest in history but not in the

dates memorized by the useless data

nor by the teacher who tell him

dead but for juicy

the master loves the pressure

passions the wars

we want to meet the people who

they built our past we are interested

humanize history and with that idea in

head and twitter with the account

Porfirio Díaz for the last seven

years long years turning it into a

reference of latin america in diffusion

historical and being the inspiration for

similar accounts of characters

Historical in Mexico Spain Chile

Argentina United States and me

allowed to transcend social networks and

write the novelated biography of

Porfirio Díaz from the cradle to the grave

the book is called me days and in addition to

that has done very well in sales and

critical to me the most relevant thing is that

every time I go to a presentation is

full of young people and children and they want

learn more about the story and want

debate what they want to question and in that

moment a connection arrived with the

colleagues with whom I studied them

where are they

I’m here telling the story but

they can follow their hobby their passion

for them I also have a small

formula if we take that purpose in the

life and we elevate it to the twitter

we see the revenge of the days

[Applause]

[Applause]

Now I know that the road is still very

long

I believe that making the passes between

porfirio good and the porfirio bad if not

they were shooting between them but more

important is to continue defending that

right that the story belongs to everyone and

the story is for everyone that really

we have to organize the questioning and

understand it because we stop being

uncomfortable and it stops hurting and just like that

let’s understand that the past is the

mirror where the future is reflected and

that no people can be their

oppressed is aware of their culture

and its history

thank you very much
